''Revivals in children's toys are con
tinually taking place, " said a man who
makes a living by buying up job lots Of
merchandise. Just now the little tele.
phones hat were such a source of won
der and amusement to the young people
O few years ago are coming into fashion
again. The trade in toys is q peculiar
one, Nothing could be more uncertain;
but when once a gimcrack has caught on
with h small boy, it proves a fortune to
all concerned. This fact makes the CAPT
talist ready enough to help the poor in.
ventor put a new toy on the market. The
result does not long remain in doubt. The
success of the toy is either instantaneous
or not at all, for q child soon tires of a
plaything. New York Is the first market
for nearly all the new toys, and after one
has had its run here it makes its appear
ance in all the principal cities in regular
order, Six months is the average run of a
new toy, after which something new is
sure TO be sprung upon the market.
"a toy to be a success must be cheap
and retail for not more than a dime. To
make a profit at this figure it must be
manufactured in large quantities. AS a
natural result when u toy has had its run
the manufacturer finds himself with a
big stock left over ON his hands. At first
he wants nearly as much for them as
they cost to make, but after they have
been numbering up his place for a mum.
Der Of years he is willing to dispose OF
them for u mere trihe. When buy "A
job lot of old fashioned toys the first thing
l do is to salt the market. 1t would be
useless TO try and sell them without,
because although a new generation of
toy players has sprung up in the interim,
no boy wants IN old toy that none of the
other children are playing with.
In sailing the market l employ n
number of agents, who distribute n few
free samples of the toy among children
in different parts of the city. At the
same time they leave trial boxes for sale
in the stores. The toy thus gets a new
lease of life; every small boy must have

DR.. Fiske-Bryson is the pioneer in a
movement to teach the mothers a few san
itary rules which Will, in her opinion, mn
terially lessen the death rate. Her idca is
that some OF the intelligent, philanthropic
women Of this city who have the leisure
should volunteer their services and devote
q little time each week to the instruction
of tenement Jus women in the prope
way to battle, clothe and feed their chill
dren. The doctor say that the few les
sons which she has been able to give these
women IN the course of her practice have
been very beneficial during the present
heated term. The doctor proposes to nave
printed on the cards for distribution in
the tenement houses the following list of
''Don'ts:''
Don't give the baby meat, beer, whisky, cab
Don't put heavy winter hannels on the baby In
July and August,
Don't battle the baby once In a while; battle 1t
twice a day during July and August, at 10 O'Clock
In the morning and at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
Don't feed the baby whenever it frets or cries.
Feed It at regular times during the day. and then
Its maps will be longer.
Don't let the baby sleep with other children
In a conversation with a reporter this
morning, the doctor said: "More than
1000 infants perish every year In New
York city between the middle of June and

is In direct proportion to the height of the
temperature. O~vercrowded and anti

Among the children of tenement house
districts and in asylums 1t prevails ex-
tensively. The greatest mortality occurs
during hot, still, sultry days. Gases from
c~esspools, malarial influences, vegetable
and animal decomposition are powerful
p~redisposing causes. The death rate of
New York children from this disease Is
twice that Of n other city in the world.
The improper feeding and management of
infancy in the densely packed tenement
house districts has more to do with the
prevalence Of cholera infantum than high
temperature, overcrowding or poverty
itself. Ignorance Is at the bottom of 1t,
and the main cause of disease and death
among infants.

Flirting in Spite of Regulations.

Love laughs at treasury regulations as
well as at locksmiths. Some time ago the
chief clerk of the treasury department
issued an order prohibiting clerks from
visiting and p~romenading the corridors
during business hours. Prior to this regu-
lation the treasury girls spent consider
able time in visiting each other and in
walking leisurely around the corridors
with favorlte masculine clerks. For a
time the new order effectually suppressed
the abuse aimed at, as all persons found
visiting or walking about idly were re-
ported to the chief clerk. The order still
produces good results, yet many male and
female clerks with a disposition for firta-
ton ave devised a plan by which they
may enjoy a promenade Of a mile without
being detected by the minions of the chief
clerk. The treasury building is about 300
by 200 feet in dimensions and is quad
rangular in form, with a central wing
stretching from east to west, thus connect
ing the building into a double quadrangle.
Two elevators, located In different corners
of the building, carry all corners from
floor to floor. The length Of the corridors
of each story extended in a straight line is
a full quarter mile, and as there are four
stories we have q full mile of corridors,
forming with their tiled floors, frescoed
walls and vaulted ceilings a most charming
promenade.
To be found lettering on any particular
floor is to insure a report and reprimand,
and a repetition of the otfense brings adj
monitor or suspension or discharge.
Some of the girls of the treasury are smart
as well as pretty, and have devised a plan
by which they may JOHN each other and
their beaus without fear of the chief clerk
and his sentinels. Meeting at an ap-
pointed hour and place, these couples will
promenade the entire length of the corri-
doris OF one floor, and then, taking separ-
ate elevators so as to avoid detection, will
proceed to the next floor and leisurely
continue their ~''spooning'' while they
make the circuit of its corridors. This is
repeated until they have traversed the
corridors OF the four floors, when each
will repair to his and her proper division,
using both elevators for this purpose,
having walked q mile, killed a half hours
time, knocked out the eye of the chief
clerk'' and had a 'lovely time. wash

l saw Bob Ford, the murderer of Jesse
James, at Las Cerrillos, a mining town
near here, lately. he is penniless, or about
so, his blood money having been exhausted
long since by riotous living. He is n
hanger On Of saloons and gambling dens,
and manages somehow to make n living.
He is cordially detested by the people and
miners generally, who themselves, often
very rough in ways and deeds, are toe
brave to do the coward trick that re-
moved Jesse James from earth. He is
alone, in all the desolate sense OF that
word, md it will always be so. Dick
Liddell is also here, but he is reformed, ~
and is receiving the assistance and moral
encouragement Of well disposed people.

WELL posted cattlemen say that the
shipment from the territory this season
will be up to the usual average, notwith
standing that the past winter was quite
severe in some portions of Wyoming.
Whatever loss there may have been, bow
ever, included very few steers which were
ready for shipment, The prices for good
cattle are better than they have been,
though not yet as good as they should be.
The market value OF thin cattle is out
rageously low as the markets are flooded
with that class of stock.

THERE is a growing conviction among
intelligent business men that the price of
cattle will soon take a jump that will place
the business on something like its old
footing. A keen observer like p, d.
Armour, of Chicago, says; Cattle are to
become scarce in a year or two. There
are more cattle coming to market than are
wanted. The government is opening
cheap lands for the people and a great
many cattle are being forced on the market
prematurely. All this will tell on the
cattle trade a year or two from now and
will probably end in making the price very
high

Discussing the Fisheries Question.

LONDON, Sept. I'm the house of
commons this afternoon Mr.. Gorley
asked il il was intended to refer article 30
of the treaty of Washington to the fisher
les commission as well as the fishery
a~cticles. Whether the composition and
powers of the commission would not be in
accordance with the memorandum of the
American government of June, 1885.
Whether the terms of the draft OF the
protocol submitted by United States Min
lister Adams to the earl OF Clarendon in
1866 would form part of the matters to
be referred to the commission.
Sir Jas. Ferguson replied that it was
intended to refer article 80 to the COM
mission. He wa not prepared to say
that the American memorandum referred
to would limit the scope of the commits
sion. Regarding the Adams protocol he
referred the inquirer to Lord Salisbury
dispatch OF March "a, stating the views
of the British government in proposing
referred to the commission we're as yet
undecided, but the inclusion of the mat
ter of Alaska seal fisheries would receive
consideration. Sir Lionel Sackville West,
the British minister at Washington,
would be the second member of the com
mission. The third would be a Canadian.
WASHINGTON, Sept Secretary
Bayard said tonight that he had great
reason to hope that a fair and final settle
ment would BE- reached of the differences
which had ALWAYS existed between this
country and Great Britain over the fisher
les question since 1918, a final settlement
of which had never been reached. The
secretary said Mr.. Chamberlain would
find the United States ready to do her
part toward securing good feeling between
the two countries.

THE OF the territory fairly

The newspapers OF the territory fairly
teen with paragraphs about agricultural
development, The johnson, Fremont,
Crook, Uinta and Albany ceunty papers
and the Lusk Herald, Of this county, are
constantly filed with information Of the
wonderful results attained without irriga,
ton, until one begins to believe with the
poet that all that is necessary is TO tickle
the soil OF Wyoming with a hoe and it
straightway laughs into a harvest. Ac-
cording to the yeracious Lusk Herald the
]cnterprising granGers in that vicinity I'M
earthed a beautiful crop of potatoes as
early as last March. Now along comes
the Glenrock Graphic and states that T..
j. ShaughnessY, a resident OF the Muddy,
has harvested a cucumber hat measures
six feet, four ax handles in length.
We hope the Grdphic'S AK handles
mean the diameter of an AK handle and
not its length, for allowing three feet to
an AK handle and twelve feet to four of
them, we have a cucumber eighteen feet
long. which is entirely too capacious to
he swallowed by even the most ardent
admirer of the beautiful climate of Wyo-
ming. However, allowing six feet eight
inches az the maximum length, to our
untutored agricultural notion it is still a
prodigious vegetable and we await With
some anxiety TO hear from other editorial
gentlemen in favored portions of the ter
ritory.
The cucumber under consideration
should he Skinned To the territorial fair.
